Other drivers in libvirt (e.g. network, qemu) will automatically
return the "inactive" (persistent configuration) XML of an object when
that object is inactive. The netcf backend of the interface driver
would always try to return the live status XML of the interface, even
when it was down. Although netcf does return valid XML in that case,
for bond interfaces it is missing almost all of its content, including
the <bond> subelement itself, leading to this error message from
"virsh iface-dumpxml" of a bond interface that is inactive:
error: XML error: bond interface misses the bond element
(this is because libvirt's validation of the XML returned by netcf
always requires a <bond> element be present).
This patch modifies the interface driver netcf backend to check if the
interface is inactive, and in that case always return the inactive XML
(which will always have a <bond> element, thus eliminating the error
message, as well as making operation more in line with other drivers.
This fixes the following bug:

Any source file which calls the logging APIs now needs
to have a VIR_LOG_INIT("source.name") declaration at
the start of the file. This provides a static variable
of the virLogSource type.

Coverity found an issue in lxc_driver and uml_driver that we don't
check the return value of register functions.
I've also updated all other places and unify the way we check the
return value.

Currently, it is possible to start an interface that is already running:
# virsh iface-start eth2
Interface eth2 started
# echo $?
0
# virsh iface-start eth2
Interface eth2 started
# echo $?
0
# virsh iface-start eth2
Interface eth2 started
# echo $?
0
Same applies for destroying a dead interface. We should not allow such
state transitions.

netcfStateInitialize() initializes the driverState variable,
and when netcfStateCleanup is called, it will call virReportError()
if driverState is NULL.
This is not consistent with what other state objects are doing,
they return -1 without reporting an error in such cases.

This resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983026
The netcf interface driver previously had no state driver associated
with it - as a connection was opened, it would create a new netcf
instance just for that connection, and close it when it was
finished. the problem with this is that each connection to libvirt
used up a netlink socket, and there is a per process maximum of ~1000
netlink sockets.
The solution is to create a state driver to go along with the netcf
driver. The state driver will opens a netcf instance, then all
connections share that same netcf instance, thus only a single
netlink socket will be used no matter how many connections are mde to
libvirtd.
This was rather simple to do - a new virObjectLockable class is
created for the single driverState object, which is created in
netcfStateInitialize and contains the single netcf handle; instead of
creating a new object for each client connection, netcfInterfaceOpen
now just increments the driverState object's reference count and puts
a pointer to it into the connection's privateData. Similarly,
netcfInterfaceClose() just un-refs the driverState object (as does
netcfStateCleanup()), and virNetcfInterfaceDriverStateDispose()
handles closing the netcf instance. Since all the functions already
have locking around them, the static lock functions used by all
functions just needed to be changed to call virObjectLock() and
virObjectUnlock() instead of directly calling the virMutex* functions.
This better fits the modern naming scheme in libvirt, and anticipates
an upcoming change where a single instance of this state will be
maintained by a separate state driver, and every instance of the netcf
driver will share the same state.
Convert the type of loop iterators named 'i', 'j', k',
'ii', 'jj', 'kk', to be 'size_t' instead of 'int' or
'unsigned int', also santizing 'ii', 'jj', 'kk' to use
the normal 'i', 'j', 'k' naming

Ensure that all APIs which list interface objects filter
them against the access control system.
This makes the APIs for listing names and counting devices
slightly less efficient, since we can't use the direct
netcf APIs for these tasks. Instead we have to ask netcf
for the full list of objects & iterate over the list
filtering them out.

Ok, the final patch for this is issue will be the simpler variant that

Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2013-2218: Fix crash listing network interfaces with
filters
The virConnectListAllInterfaces method has a double-free of the
'struct netcf_if' object when any of the filtering flags cause
an interface to be skipped over. For example when running the
command 'virsh iface-list --inactive'
This is a regression introduced in release 1.0.6 by

virConnectListAllInterfaces should support to list all of
interfaces when the value of flags is 0. The behaviour is

Ensure that all drivers implementing public APIs use a
naming convention for their implementation that matches
the public API name.
eg for the public API virDomainCreate make sure QEMU

It will simplify later work if the sub-drivers have dedicated

Ensure that the driver struct field names match the public

The libvirt coding standard is to use 'function(...args...)'

All other backends for virInterface or other HVs implementations of
virInterface list their own names for the name instead of the generic
'Interface' value. This does the same for the netcf based backend.
Also, report any errors during registration.
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html recommends that
the 'If not, see <url>.' phrase be a separate sentence.

Based exclusively on work by Eric Blake in a patch posted with the same
subject. However some modifications related to comments and my plans to
add another backend.
Added WITH_INTERFACE as the only automake variable deciding whether to
build the driver and using WITH_NETCF to identify that we're wanting to
use the netcf library as the backend.
* configure.ac: Added with_interface
* src/interface/netcf_driver.c: Renamed..
* src/interface/interface_backend_netcf.c: ..to this to match storage.
* src/interface/netcf_driver.h: Renamed..

* daemon/Makefile.am: Respect WITH_INTERFACE and WITH_NETCF.
* libvirt.spec.in: Add RPM support for --with-interface
